Chapter 1176: 1176

The black tornado was still approaching, but it had almost uprooted the whole mountain . The Black Totem Snake quickly coiled up .

In order to prevent any harm from befalling Mo Fan and Ye Xinxia, the Black Totem Snake dug his head deeper between his body . He did not have many scales left to defend himself .

"Big guy!" Mo Fan did not feel pleasant after seeing how hard the Black Totem Snake was trying to protect him .

The Black Totem Snake was heavily outnumbered, after all . It was only a matter of time until his defenses were torn apart by such a huge army of Adjudicators and Mages of Faith, and it would soon start to drain away his life force .

"Xinxia, how long until I can fully recover?" Mo Fan asked panickingly .

"Your injuries were too serious, I still need some time!" Xinxia was already trying her best to heal Mo Fan .

Mo Fan had used up too much of his energy overcoming the challenge of the Starry Mountain Path . It was unlikely that he could fully recover in a short period . Most importantly, his energy had depleted!

If he demonized now, he would be a lot weaker than usual . The armed forces of the Parthenon Temple had gathered from the mountain waist to the base . He would struggle against the army of Adjudicators and Mages of Faith, let alone the Golden Sun Knights of the Super Level, and the Holy Court Mages that were even stronger!

Mo Fan was trying his best to recover while the Black Totem Snake was buying him time . The more he recovered, the stronger he would be when he demonized!

However, seeing how the Black Totem Snake was being attacked by thousands of Advanced Mages, Mo Fan was quite worried that the Totem Beast could not hold on for much longer .

"Even if you recovered, you are still an Advanced Mage, any of the Golden Sun Knights could easily take you out," Asha'ruiya said hopelessly .

"Didn't you have a magic Pendant that can help me recover? Quick, use it on me," Mo Fan said .

The Black Totem Snake continued to resist the continuous magic blasts from the army of Mages . Mo Fan sensed the aura of the Black Totem Snake gradually weakening…

The Black Totem Snake could still take on the armed forces of the Parthenon Temple if it wasn't for the magic formation of the sacred mountain . The magic formation had inflicted serious damage on the creature and greatly weakened him .

"Is it going to make a difference? Oh, you have no idea what the Dark Execution is, do you?" Asha'ruiya said with a wry smile .

"Just use it on me, can it replenish three-tenths of my energy?" Mo Fan blurted out .

"If it's only you, my pendant can replenish all your energy," Asha'ruiya said .

She did not understand why Mo Fan still insisted on recovering under the circumstances . Was he seriously not giving up yet? How stubborn and ignorant could he be…

"For real?" Mo Fan grabbed Asha'ruiya in joy .

"I don't know what trump card you have up in your sleeves, but I have to say that the Dark Execution is the strongest power in the world . No one has ever escaped from it . My adoptive father Wen Tai was so close to becoming a Forbidden Mage, but he didn't survive it either . Just give up, if the Black Totem Snake protects you with everything he has, you might be able to escape still, but it's impossible for you to bring Xinxia away…" Asha'ruiya said .

"Just help me recover, quick!" Mo Fan snapped without listening to what Asha'ruiya had to say .

Asha'ruiya let out a sigh . She stepped closer to Mo Fan and took out the Pendant .

"I'll need some time to fully replenish your energy, I'll need you to…" Asha'ruiya was just about to tell what Mo Fan had to do when she saw a few stones glowing with a dark energy appearing out of nowhere in their surroundings .

Mo Fan was startled too . He looked at the black stones in confusion, but he somehow felt they were slightly familiar .

"The…the Stones of Guilt!" Asha'ruiya exclaimed .

The Black Totem Snake had dug his head between his body . It was impossible for anything to reach them without breaking through the Black Totem Snake's body . However, the black stones seemed to possess the mysterious power of the Space Element . An otherworldly, icy energy was leaking out of the stones, like executioners searching for their prey…

The black stones moved closer to Xinxia, as if they had found their prey!

A few more Stones of Guilt appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Xinxia . Mo Fan was worried that the stones would harm Xinxia . He reached out his hand to grab them, yet a strong dark energy burst out of the stones and corroded his hand instantly!

Asha'ruiya reacted quickly . She cast a spell to protect Mo Fan . Otherwise, his hand would have corroded into bones within a few seconds!

"Don't touch them, you will turn into a puddle!" Asha'ruiya warned .

More black stones appeared . Asha'ruiya counted quickly and realized there were ten of them!

There were thirteen Magistrates in total . In other words, ten out of thirteen had voted Xinxia guilty, and their Stones of Guilt were carrying out the Dark Execution!

The ten black stones were incredibly strange . They circled Xinxia like a ring and suddenly emitted a black light . It formed a dark seal imprinted on Xinxia's forehead…

"Brother Mo Fan!" Xinxia felt utterly helpless . She could feel that her body had been isolated . Even though she was only a step away from Mo Fan and Asha'ruiya, it felt like she was in a different world . The black light of the Stones of Guilt shrouded her .

"Xinxia, it's okay, don't be scared!" Mo Fan was in a panic . He could no longer wait until his energy was replenished . His eyes were emitting a crimson-red glow .

It did not matter what the Dark Execution was, Mo Fan was going to tear it into pieces!

The black light flickered vigorously and vanished together with Xinxia right before Mo Fan and Asha'ruiya .

Just like how the black Stones of Guilt had traversed space to reach Xinxia, they had vanished without a single trace, bringing Xinxia with them!

A terrifying aura burst out of Mo Fan's body as soon as Xinxia disappeared . The demon blood rushed in his veins, he was about to unleash the demonic power!

Asha'ruiya was astounded when she sensed the terrifying aura Mo Fan was emitting .

The Black Totem Snake slowly extended his body . He seemed to notice that Xinxia had been brought away by some unknown force . The furious Totem Beast slammed his tail onto the mountain…

The mountainside collapsed after receiving the tremendous blow . A troop of three hundred Mages of Faith died instantly, their blood splattered across the mountain!

"Calm down, calm down both of you! Ye Xinxia isn't dead, she was brought to the Dark Execution Ground . Do you remember the Dark Dueling Ground? It's a place of darkness that a contract establishes . The person that is bound to the contract will be trapped inside . The Stones of Guilt have brought Ye Xinxia to the Dark Execution Ground, a place that is similar to the Dark Dueling Ground . It's at the bottom of the mountain, look!" Asha'ruiya quickly said when she saw Mo Fan and the Black Totem Snake about to lose control of themselves .

The wild energy Mo Fan possessed calmed down slightly . He glanced at the base of the mountain through the smoke produced by the magic blasts and saw a barrier separating a huge area of darkness .

The barrier had encapsulated a spacious area . It indeed resembled a spectacular execution ground from afar…

Mo Fan had seen it before . He remembered the Master of the Shadow Element, Essendale, had been trapped in a similar Dark Execution Ground too, before he was torn into pieces by the mystical beast called Hayla and dragged into the Realm of the Dead!

Mo Fan stared at the intimidating Dark Execution Ground and asked in shock, "Did Wen Tai die inside that?"

"Yeah, the Holy Judgment Court is able to keep their superiority mainly because of the Dark Execution's power . No one can escape the Dark Execution! Mo Fan, they are aiming for the Soul of the Parthenon Temple inside Xinxia's body . The Dark Execution is happening . There's nothing you can do . You should just leave while they are focusing on retrieving the Soul of the Parthenon Temple . If you die here too, how are you going to avenge Ye Xinxia? The Parthenon Temple and the Holy Judgment Court aren't something you can take on with your current strength…besides…" Asha'ruiya said .

Asha'ruiya hesitated slightly, as she was unsure if it was appropriate to tell Mo Fan what she was thinking .

"Besides, there's something you should know . Ye Xinxia might not be Salan, but she's most likely…"

Mo Fan looked at Asha'ruiya with cold eyes .

Asha'ruiya did not dare to say anything further . She could feel a terrifying aura bursting out of Mo Fan's body . It was wild and icy, as if he had turned into a completely different person .

"You don't care, do you?" Asha'ruiya sighed .

Mo Fan remained expressionless .

"If you really want to save her, the only way is to barge into the Dark Execution Ground and retrieve her soul, which is already half a step in the Realm of the Dead . Wen Tai has inflicted serious damage on Hayla . It isn't as strong as it used to be, yet it still killed Essendale, the strongest Shadow Mage quite easily," Asha'ruiya said .

"Try your best to replenish my energy . I will ask the Black Totem Snake to bring you to safety!" Mo Fan's gaze never left the Dark Execution Ground .

"Why do you insist on saving her? Anyone can lose their loved ones, why can't you? Wake up!" Asha'ruiya snapped furiously .

Asha'ruiya truly respected Mo Fan . Even when everyone believed that Xinxia was Salan, Mo Fan never doubted her . He insisted on bringing her away and had broken through the magic formation of the sacred mountain .

Even now, after the Dark Execution had fallen, even when Mo Fan was up against the armed forces of the Parthenon Temple, he did not give up .

But Ye Xinxia was already a dead woman! Even Wen Tai, one of the strongest Mages, had failed to survive the Dark Execution . How could someone as weak as them escape it?

She had to admit that Mo Fan's love for Xinxia was far beyond the authority and the power that the people of the Parthenon Temple were thirsting for…

But that was it!

Mo Fan calmed down slightly after hearing Asha'ruiya's words .

Mo Fan looked at Asha'ruiya, whose eyes had reddened . He could tell that she was yelling at him from the deepest part of her heart, as her only close one, Wen Tai had died to the same conspiracy . Compared to Xinxia, who had never seen Wen Tai before, Wen Tai was Asha'ruiya's true father!

"Asha'ruiya, you are right, anyone can lose their loved ones, it's just how it is…" Mo Fan agreed . He looked into Asha'ruiya's tearful eyes and said, "But when it happens to me one day, I hope that I've used up every bit of my energy and my strength, I hope that every drop of my blood has dried up, and my heart has stopped beating!"

The dust drifted into the air by the blasts swept at Mo Fan's face .

Asha'ruiya's heart skipped a beat after hearing Mo Fan's words!

Until his heart stopped beating…

No one could really oppose the world, but it was enough as long as they were not left with any regrets!

Asha'ruiya slowly placed her hand on Mo Fan's chest . She could feel the man's heart pounding heavily . Many people were living like walking corpses, but the man before her was vivid and blazing like fire!

A blue light circled Asha'ruiya's hand as energy kept pouring into Mo Fan's body . Mo Fan could feel the energy in his Star Galaxies replenishing rapidly .

It was not only replenishing his energy . His wounds were recovering too, including his broken organs and bones . Mo Fan had no idea what magic Asha'ruiya was using, but he clearly felt himself recovering at an insane rate .

—

He fully recovered in just a short period of time . On the other hand, Asha'ruiya's face was extremely pale, but she was still as gorgeous as usual .

"Hopefully the hidden power in your body is a lot stronger than I've imagined, as you are going to take on armed forces that can conquer half of the world!" Asha'ruiya had a faint smile, as if she was bidding him farewell .

The color of Mo Fan's eyes shifted . An abnormal dark red filled his pupils . They were so dark that they could reflect the entire chaotic sky .

The demon blood that he had been withholding for a long time turned restless . They were like demons that had just been released from cages . They could not wait to descend upon the mundane world and unleash their wrath across the sacred mountain!

The Essence Orb was also emitting a brilliant and eerie light that soared into the clouds like a sword .

Mo Fan had saved up the energy for a long time . He had promised Old Bao that he would not use the Demon Element until he had filled up the Essence Orb . However, even if the orb was not filled up, he had no intention of suppressing the power of the Demon Element anymore!

The Black Vatican was detestable; he wanted nothing more than to send them all to Hell with everything he had, as they were not worthy to live in this world .

However, he was totally disappointed after learning the ridiculous lie that the Parthenon Temple and the Holy Judgment Court had woven for their own greed . Humanity was constantly threatened by the demon creatures that ruled the world, but the leaders of the human race turned out to be unreliable, too!

Left with no choice, Mo Fan could only use violence to curb violence . Since they were willing to shed the blood of the innocent lives to acquire more power, Mo Fan was more than willing to shed their blood, too!

—

An enormous, white shadow stood firmly behind Mo Fan . It was a Demon Wolf Supreme that had been awakened from the deepest abyss in the Underworld . The wolf stared down at the sacred mountain . The savage light its eyes were emitting could easily tear these weaklings into pieces!

Mo Fan's hair had turned white, the color that symbolized death . His long hair was like a coat of sharp spines on his back, and his body was covered in the runes that echoed with the enormous shadow of the Demon Wolf Supreme behind him . His enlarged muscles looked oddly terrifying!

{TL Note: White symbolizes death in certain countries, particularly Asian countries . White represents death, mourning, and bad luck, hence people normally wear white clothes during funerals . }

Asha'ruiya was so shocked that she could not find any words after seeing Mo Fan's transformation .

Even though Mo Fan still retained his face, the strange runes had turned him into a demon from the Underworld . She felt extremely tiny before his icy aura . She believed that even if she was used the power of the Dark Contract, she would not stand a chance against Mo Fan at all!

The Black Totem Snake was already quite intimidating, yet Mo Fan's presence was actually even more intimidating than it was!

The Black Totem Snake let out a cry . He had detected a bunch of Adjudicators casting powerful spells on a mountain not far away . The destructive aura spread through the woods and destroyed them!

Mo Fan lowered his gaze to the Black Totem Snake…

Fresh blood was flowing down his enormous body . His skin was dyed red too!

"Leave the rest to me," Mo Fan gently petted the Black Totem Snake's head .

He had done a lot; it was time for the Parthenon Temple and the Holy Judgment Court to experience how it felt when they were up against a real demon!

—

Mo Fan launched himself into the air from the Black Totem Snake's head . He was not able to fly, but he easily leapt over the tall hill in front of him and landed on the mountain among the Adjudicators like a meteorite .

The Adjudicators were drawing a huge Star Constellation . Sixty Mages were working together to cast a Plant Spell, and once it was done, it would prevent the Black Totem Snake from moving .

The Plant Element was very effective against larger targets . The battle would be over once their Plant Spell was completed .

"Who…who's there!?" the middle-aged man leading the Adjudicators snapped furiously . He turned around and saw a ghastly figure with an overwhelming aura standing there . It felt like he could easily devour the mountain with a single breath!

The demonized Mo Fan did not answer the question . He merely uttered coldly, "Blood Shadow Strike!"

The giant wolf shadow behind Mo Fan sprang forward . It split into countless wolf shadows sprinting wildly across the mountain!

Tearing, biting, trampling, it was like a horde of demon wolves conquered the mountain in the blink of an eye . The Adjudicators died horrible deaths, their bodies torn apart and eaten, their limbs were scattered across the place . It was a massacre!

Their blood was flowing down the mountain like streams .

—-

Shawshank, who was commanding the battle up in the air, opened his eyes in disbelief as he watched his men die!

They were the elites among the Adjudicators, yet they were all wiped out in an instant… what exactly was the figure that was moving so fast? How did it possess such terrifying power!?

"Hall…Hall Master, the entire seventh squad has been wiped out!"

"Impossible!"

"Did anyone see what the thing was?"

"It jumped out from the Black Totem Snake . It's too quick, it's killing us like it is harvesting wheat!"

Shawshank was enraged . The Adjudicators played an important role in the armed forces of the Parthenon Temple . The Black Totem Snake had already killed many of them, but even more had died now . It was totally unacceptable!

"The Black Totem Snake is in its final struggle . Isn't it normal for blood to be shed every time a new Goddess is being elected? How can we grow stronger without sacrifices?" Dulanc was not too bothered by the loss .

It was only a bunch of Adjudicators . Once they had the Spell of Resurrection, even Forbidden Mages would be willing to submit to them . Why would they care about the death of some Adjudicators?

Besides, the Adjudicators had sworn loyalty to Izisha . It was their honor to die for the sake of the Parthenon Temple!

Shawshank glanced at the woods now covered in blood and demanded, "Did you not see a human figure?"

"I didn't, I'll place you and Vice Hall Master Lanjin in charge, I suppose you know how to deal with Haylon," Dulanc said .

They were finally at the most important part of their plan; claiming the Soul of the Parthenon Temple! Dulanc had to focus on the Dark Execution . He wanted to see Ye Xinxia being dragged into the Realm of the Dead just like Wen Tai and witness the Soul of the Parthenon Temple being granted to Izisha . These candidates or Saintesses were incomparable to Izisha!

Dulanc left and headed for the Dark Execution Ground .

Shawshank and Mellaura stayed to deal with the Black Totem Snake . Shawshank was still concerned about the thing that was massacring their men in the woods . It did not seem like a power of the Black Totem Snake…

"Mellaura, use your magic to find that guy…" Shawshank said .

"Mm… ugh…"

"Mellaura…" Shawshank turned to his back when he heard Mellaura stammering .

However, a great chill immediately ran down his spine as he took a quick glance!

A bloody hand had penetrated Mellaura's back and come out her chest . The hand was holding her beating heart . Her eyes were wide in surprise, as she slowly turned and followed Shawshank's gaze!

Behind Mellaura was a man shrouded by a demonic shadow with an evil, cold grin on his face . His bloody-red eyes had a strong aura of death, and did not look human at all!

"It's…it's him!" Shawshank was dumbfounded . He recognized the man's face . He was none other than the young Mage that was trying to rescue Xinxia, Mo Fan!

However, his appearance had changed completely . He had transformed into a cold-blooded demon with a strong desire to kill .

"Great…Great Muse!"

"Mellaura!"

"You devil, let go of her!"

Five Golden Sun Knights were on standby close to Mellaura .

As the Great Muse, Mellaura's Healing Magic and Blessing Elements were outstanding . Even though she was not a capable fighter, with her help, a Super Mage could easily take on three Super Mages of their level at the same time!

However, no one expected a demon to appear out of nowhere and drive his hand right through Mellaura's back . None of the Golden Sun Knights had reacted in time . Even Mellaura herself could not use any of her magic equipment!

After all, no one expected they would die with so many protectors around them…

"I thought your blood had already been corrupted and turned black, but it's still so red!" Demon Mo Fan slowly pulled his hand out of Mellaura's twitching body . He was admiring the blood on his hand as if it was a work of art!

Mellaura did not die instantly . She was still grasping onto her last breath, waiting for Shawshank to protect her .

If everything went according to the plan, Izisha would eventually obtain the Spell of Resurrection . As long as she could preserve her body and her soul, she still had a chance to be resurrected . Mellaura could feel her life draining away at an insane rate . She had only one final wish!

Mo Fan suddenly flipped his hand . A strong wind immediately surrounded Mellaura, destroying her final hope . She could even see pieces of her body drifting in the wind . It looked utterly terrifying!

She never thought she would die such a gruesome death at the hands of a demon that seemed to have come from a different world . Why would this Mo Fan, whom they never treated seriously, possess such terrifying power!?

Shawshank shivered in fear . He and the Golden Sun Knights were totally unaware when Mo Fan had shown up . If he had been aiming for them instead, they would have ended up just like Mellaura!

Mo Fan's hatred for Mellaura was so strong that he was tearing her into pieces, leaving her no chance of being resurrected .

"Avenge…avenge the Great Muse!" A Golden Sun Knight that was blindly loyal to Mellaura let out a roar, trying to overcome his fear . Even though they were Super Mages, they had never seen anything like Mo Fan!

A giant Demon Judgment Sword of the Light Element descended from the sky, aimed right at Mo Fan's head . The sword was as tall as a building . Shawshank managed to cast the spell right after recovering!

Mo Fan raised his head and looked at the Demon Judgment Sword, yet he did not try to dodge it .

He slowly raised his other hand . A deep, silver energy burst out of his palm .

He suddenly clenched his hand, aiming at the Demon Judgment Sword above him . The giant sword was immediately shrouded by the silver energy of the Space Element, and crushed into pieces before it could reach Mo Fan's head!

Shawshank and the rest of the Golden Sun Knights took a deep breath . The demon was able to shatter a Super Spell so easily . How strong could he be?

"Let's attack together!" A few Golden Sun Knights started constructing Star Palaces rapidly . It was obvious that these Golden Sun Knights had been in the Super Level for quite some time, considering how quickly they were casting their spells . A Thousand Leaves Saber soon appeared in front of the Golden Sun Knight that initiated the attack .

The leaves danced wildly and slashed at Demon Mo Fan like white scythes . They were dense and fierce, leaving no gaps between them .

Demon Mo Fan did not have the ability to fly . He stayed in the air briefly before landing on the ground . The Thousand Leaves Sabers pursued after him, cutting the plants across the mountain into dust scattering in the wind…

As soon as the Thousand Leaves Sabers disappeared, a Golden Sun Light sprang forward using the Slaughtering Wind Slash . He cut at Mo Fan using the wind as his weapon!

The Slaughtering Wind Slash sliced forward from one end of the hill to the other . Demon Mo Fan crossed his arms in front of him, before he slid across the ground after the Slaughtering Wind Slash struck him…

"He…he does not seem to be injured!" another knight exclaimed after taking a closer look .

The Golden Sun Knight with the Wind Element was dumbfounded . It was his strongest spell . Both the Thousand Leaves Saber and the Slaughtering Wind Slash were able to slaughter thousands of demon creatures in an instant, yet they did not leave even a single scratch on the guy . Was he even human!?

"Sinking Ground!" Shawshank yelled furiously from up in the air .

The woods shook . The ravine that Mo Fan was standing in suddenly sank rapidly, as if an enormous giant had just stomped on the ground, leaving a deep pit where Mo Fan was standing .

Demon Mo Fan fell into the sinking pit . His body was buried by the rocks . However, he was not crushed by the force . His eyes flickered coldly instead .

He broke free from the rocks and crouched like a stretched bowstring!

BANG!

With a loud blast, the mountain collapsed as Demon Mo Fan stomped the ground, launching him into the sky like a bolt of black lightning .

Shawshank activated all his defenses, including an expensive Magic Armor . However, when the bolt of lightning swept past him, he felt like all his bones had broken . He fell rapidly to the bottom of the mountain!

Shawshank did not stop even after landing on the ground . He slammed further into a deep hole in the city down the mountain .

His Magic Armor was broken into pieces . He was still alive, yet the tremendous pain in his chest prevented him from rising to his feet .

He was the Vice Hall Master of the Hall of Judgment; he never thought he would be defeated so easily one day!

Driving a man from the mountain's waist to its foot . How strong would the impact have to be!?

After some time, Shawshank recovered slightly . He glanced at the mountain's waist and saw the demon grabbing the Golden Sun Knight that had sworn his loyalty to Mellaura .

Shawshank could not see what the demon did . He only saw blood jetting up into the sky, before the Golden Sun Knight's body was tossed into the valley like a piece of trash…

The Golden Sun Knights stood no chance against the demon . They were all taken out at different spots .

—

A loud cry sang out . The snake's breath swept across the mountain like a black tornado . The armed forces hiding in the mountain immediately received a destructive blow, many human figures were knocked into the sky…

Mo Fan turned around and looked at the Black Totem Snake . He saw that it had slightly recovered during this short period . He was lending a hand by cleaning off the rest of the armed forces of the Parthenon Temple .

The number of Mages that the Parthenon Temple had was just too high . It was impossible to kill every single one of them . Besides, apart from those that had sworn loyalty to Izisha, Dulanc, and Mellaura, Mo Fan had never planned to kill every person of the Parthenon Temple!

Not everyone in the Parthenon Temple had submitted to Izisha . It was quite obvious that the Hall Master of the Hall of Knights, Haylon, was totally unaware of the conspiracy!

The people that wanted to kill Xinxia were Dulanc and Izisha!

Mo Fan did not waste his time further with the Adjudicators, Mages of Faith, and the Golden Sun Knights, knowing that the Black Totem Snake was clearing a path for him . He transformed into a bunch of Wolf Shadows and sprinted down the mountain .

The Mages of Faith did not stop attacking with their magic along the way, but most of the attacks only consisted of Intermediate Spells . They were unlikely to inflict any damage on Mo Fan, considering how fast he was moving .

Mo Fan's Demon Element had grown stronger than it had been at the Ancient Capital . It turned out that the Demon Element also grew with his cultivation!

——

A black pillar stood between the sacred mountain and the flourishing city . The people nearby had been evacuated after the Parthenon Temple's Hall of Faith sounded the alert . The city looked empty, and the boundary of the Dark Execution Ground made it look like something out of an apocalypse .

The city was deserted . The Dark Execution Ground had been established in the city, and a feeble woman was trapped in it alone…

The black Stones of Guilt were circling Xinxia . The seal of the Dark Execution had almost burned through her forehead, leaving her in great pain, her sweat pouring down like a rain .

A dark light was shining upon Xinxia . The shadow it was projecting was completely different from Xinxia's outline . It was a slender figure, its waist-to-leg ratio different from normal humans . Its black hair was reaching its knees!

Outside the Dark Execution Ground, Dulanc acted as if he had just seen the most wonderful thing in the world when he saw the shadow being projected from Xinxia . His eyes were brimming with greed!

"It's the Soul of the Parthenon Temple, it's really on her!" Dulanc had the urge to pounce on the girl . However, he was not allowed to enter the Dark Execution Ground, and the Soul of the Parthenon Temple would not reside in the body of a Great Magistrate, either .

The Soul of the Parthenon Temple would only reside in the true successor of the Parthenon Temple . Only the Saintesses that had received the Blessing of the God's Seal were able to inherit the Soul of the Parthenon Temple .

—

When the Soul of the Parthenon Temple was revealed, a figure standing on the observatory tower on the Hall of the Goddess glanced down the stairs . She could just see the Dark Execution Ground, and the stunning outline of the Soul of the Parthenon Temple was like a gorgeous painting on the ground .

The person grinned, her heart overflowing with joy .

Izisha had been waiting for years to get her hands on the Soul of the Parthenon Temple . Once she claimed the Soul of the Parthenon Temple, it was time for her to stand at the top of the world!

Izisha's eyes were fixed on the Soul of the Parthenon Temple on the Dark Execution Ground . She did not seem bothered by the blood splattered across the mountain .

The battle for power in the Parthenon Temple had always been paid in blood . Even if the Black Totem Snake had not shown up, she would still take out every single person that was unwilling to submit to her, and the number of casualties would be several times greater than the number of people dying now!

Chapter 1179: 1179

The sacred mountain flattened at its foot . Normally, the petals of the Flying Flowers would be scattered across the place . However, apart from the petals that were destroyed by the overwhelming energy, all that was left was the residue of the spells on the streets and the roofs .

The people in the Citadel of Athens were terrified when they saw the Dark Execution Ground, but what scared them the most was seeing people dying on the sacred mountain . They might not be aware of the complicated reasons behind the battle that was taking place there, but they knew it had been a long time since the Parthenon Temple was involved in such a tragedy .

Cold rain was still pouring down from the gray clouds looming over the Citadel of Athens . The sky was dark and cloudy, and between a few ancient buildings, a shadowy figure shrouded by an evil aura landed on the ground . Its eerily glowing eyes were staring at the spacious Dark Execution Ground .

A lightning halberd descended from the stormy clouds without a sound . It drove right into the ground between the buildings, as tall as the structures around it!

Lightning arcs burst out of it and sprang right at Mo Fan with a strong sealing force!

Demon Mo Fan reacted swiftly . He jumped onto a building and turned around . He saw a Mage in a golden robe standing opposite him . His face was covered by a mask . Mo Fan was unable to see his face, but he could tell how strong the man was from his powerful aura!

"I don't care what you are, anything that comes any closer will die!" the Holy Court Mage stated coldly .

The fact that the Holy Court Mage could detect Mo Fan's presence and sneak up on him easily proved that he was one of the strongest among the Holy Court Mages .

"You already knew the judgment was part of a great conspiracy, and yet you Holy Court Mages are still willing to obey Dulanc's order?" Demon Mo Fan stared at the Holy Court Mage and demanded hoarsely .

The Holy Court Mage did not respond . It was quite obvious that he was on Dulanc's side . Wild lightning burst out of his body once again as another lightning halberd fell from the sky and landed close to Mo Fan .

More lightning halberds began to fall soon after, twelve of them in total . The lightning halberds formed a magic formation with deadly lightning arcs moving between them .

The Holy Court Mage stood outside the magic formation and stared at Demon Mo Fan trapped inside it .

The Lightning Element was known for its incredible damage, but after reaching the Super Level, the Lightning Spell was very effective at trapping a target instead . The Holy Court Mage believed the magic formation was enough to trap the demon for some time .

The Holy Court Mage was just about to report back to Great Magistrate Dulanc when his vision blurred all of a sudden . The man with crimson-red eyes eerily blinked out of the magic formation and was now only half a meter away from him .

The Holy Court Mage immediately broke out in cold sweat . He did not think his target would be able to break out of the magic formation so easily, and he could already smell death from such a close distance!

—

Outside the Dark Execution Ground, Dulanc was still looking at the Soul of the Parthenon Temple greedily . He even wished that he could turn into Hayla, the Envoy of the Realm of the Dead, and end the girl's life with his own hands . It would quicken the process of releasing the Soul of the Parthenon Temple from that lowly woman and giving it to the real Goddess .

In the past, he always enjoyed watching Hayla climbing out from the Realm of the Dead slowly and tearing the arrogant people that opposed him to pieces . However, he was not in the mood today . He wanted to get it done as quickly as possible and get rid of the voices that were rebelling against him, and get the situation back under control .

A man wearing the armor of a Holy Court Mage fell from the sky and slammed heavily onto the ground beside Dulanc .

The Holy Court Mage responsible for Dulanc's safety yelled out in surprise and quickly stepped forward to protect Dulanc .

The man that fell from the sky was still sliding across the ground . He finally came to a stop after smashing through a few walls . Another Holy Court Mage quickly went up to take a look, before returning with a twisted expression .

"It's Sisso! I think… I think he's dead!" the Holy Court Mage called out .

Sisso was an elite among the Holy Court Mages . He had been asked to guard the perimeter of the Dark Execution Ground . They saw his Lightning Spell descend not long ago . They initially thought he would take out the enemy quite easily, but to their surprise, he was the one that died! The rest of the Holy Court Mages felt uneasy .

"That thing is coming, Great Magistrate!" a blue-haired Holy Court Mage exclaimed .

"Why are you panicking? Set up the defense!" Great Magistrate Dulanc harrumphed coldly .

"Dulanc, watch out, he's very strong!" the injured Shawshank said .

Shawshank had been knocked down the mountain by Mo Fan . He had decided to stick close to Dulanc instead, as the Golden Sun Knights and the Adjudicators were weaker than the Holy Court Mages . He was hoping that Dulanc could take out the demon .

However, Shawshank immediately lost confidence when he learned that even Sisso, one of the strongest Holy Court Mages, had died too! He could not help but feel they had offended someone they could not afford to…Read more chapter on NovelFull

"The Barrier will stop him from getting any closer!" Dulanc said .

The barrier had the shape of an icy wall . It had covered the entire place and completely separated it from the space outside, preventing Mo Fan from entering the Dark Execution Ground .

The crystalline Barrier continued to grow thicker, like a glacier of blue ice .

—

The barrier was transparent . Demon Mo Fan walked up to the Barrier and stared at the people hiding inside .

Dulanc was inspecting Mo Fan in return . He was rather surprised . Wasn't he the young man that was trying to rescue Xinxia? How did he leave Vice Hall Leader Shawshank with such serious injuries and even kill his trustworthy man, Sisso?

Demonic flames gradually burst out of Mo Fan's body and engulfed the Wolf Soul Shadow behind him…

The flames attached to Mo Fan's back formed the outline of the Flame Belle Empress . The previous evil aura had disappeared, replaced by the pure, destructive aura of fire currently enveloping Mo Fan!

Mo Fan's appearance of a Wolf Demon had transformed into a blazing figure . The stunning outline of the Flame Belle Empress astonished the Holy Court Mages!

A Fire Demon!

Mo Fan's power shifted tremendously when the shadow behind him changed . He raised his fist and slammed it heavily onto the Barrier of crystalline ice!

A giant fiery dragon sprang out of Mo Fan's fist and slammed into the Barrier .

The Barrier began to crack rapidly under the overwhelming force of the flames . The cracks spread further, and soon covered half the barrier .

Dulanc, who was initially wearing a smug expression, immediately paled when he saw the damage dealt to the Barrier .

-That's impossible! A single punch!-

The guy had broken his Barrier with a single punch!

The wild flames surged fiercely and filled up the space . The broken pieces of the Barrier melted within the blink of an eye .

Mo Fan stepped forward . The flames spread across the ground, following his steps, setting the place on fire . The terrifying flames did not burn everything into ashes . They were like a bunch of servants under the control of their master . They had temporarily occupied the territory, and would not move before receiving a command from their master!

The flames surrounded Dulanc, Shawshank, and the three Holy Court Mages…

"What exactly are you!?" Dulanc's voice began to tremble when he saw Mo Fan coming closer .

As an authority, Dulanc was a powerful Mage too, yet unlike Pang Lai and Song Qiming who were able to climb to their positions with their outstanding strength, Dulanc had climbed to his current position with political tricks . He was not any stronger than Sisso, who had just died, and was weaker than Shawshank, too .

The strongest force in the Parthenon Temple was the Hall of Knights, especially the few Hall Masters that included Haylon . However, Haylon had started to withdraw the Golden Sun Knights and the Silver Moon Knights after realizing something .

"Protect the Great Magistrate!" Shawshank was still injured . He already knew it would come down to this when he realized the demon was just as strong as the Black Totem Snake . They needed an entire army of Mages to have a chance to take him on . Even Mellaura had died to him!

Shawshank did not want to die . As soon as he gave the order to protect the Great Magistrate, he fled in the opposite direction instead, leaving the Holy Court Mages to protect the Great Magistrate!

Mo Fan did not intend to let the ambitious man go . His gaze followed Shawshank . A fiery pillar burst out of the ground in the direction that Shawshank was running, intercepting him!

Shawshank was astounded . He used all his might to move a few hundred meters away when he felt the danger approaching . However, as soon as he came to a street surrounded by buildings, he saw the buildings erupting in flames and turning into a fiery ocean . The flames pounced on him fiercely!

The fire grew stronger quickly . Shawshank struggled in the flames . The three Holy Court Mages were overwhelmed by fear when they saw Mo Fan Summon such a powerful fire with just a simple glance!

Mo Fan glanced at the three Holy Court Mages and said mockingly, "If you run now, I will spare your life . "

The youngest Holy Court Mage among them turned around instantly and fled . Dulanc's face contorted when he saw one of his trusted men abandon him so quickly .

"AHHHH!!!" The Holy Court Mage on Dulanc's right was just about to use his magic when Demon Mo Fan set his body on fire .

The flames were inextinguishable, but the man was a Super Water Mage . He immediately Summoned a strong tide . The waves splashed across the streets and flooded the roads, but still failed to put out the fire that was growing on him rapidly!

The fire burned through his defensive magic and destroyed his Magic Equipment . It then burned through the skin and turned the Holy Court Mage into a blackened corpse…

"A…a demon like you shouldn't exist in this world . The Five Magic Associations and the Holy Judgment Court are going to send you back into Hell!" Dulanc yelled when he saw his men dying horribly .

In addition to bringing the authorities and the strongest Mages in the world to judgment, the Holy Judgment Court was also responsible for exterminating and forbidding evil magic!

The power that Mo Fan possessed was clearly unacceptable . Dulanc believed the Heresy Judgment Mages could easily eliminate the demon in front of him!

"I have only used my power against the people of the Black Vatican, but compared to them, you actually deserve to die more!" Mo Fan retorted .

The Holy Judgment Court was meant to serve justice and eliminate evil forces, but what did their Great Magistrate Dulanc do?

If the Holy Judgment Court was controlling the fate of the human race, he would not mind destroying it instead!

—

A deafening roar came from the spacious Dark Execution Ground .

The buildings and streets inside it had turned into a giant, black pool . A ghastly head wearing a horned helmet slowly rose from the muddy water . Black flying insects spread into the surroundings like thick clouds of smoke outlining a serpent .

Under the horned helmet was a face half-covered in tentacles . Its entire jaw was covered by long black beetles!

A pair of metallic, black horns curled to the back of its head . Its forehead was protected by the helmet, and its hollow eyes had a ghastly, crimson-red glow . It was glaring at Xinxia, who was bound to the Dark Execution Ground by the Stones of Guilt .

It felt like the woman would be completely destroyed by a single breath from the creature . Countless black insects were circling Xinxia, as if they could not wait to feast on her!

These Insects of Death rarely had a chance to taste such a tender sacrifice!

——

"It's…it's Hayla!"

"It's over…"

Pang Lai and Song Qiming both saw the creature Summoned by the Stones of Guilt in the Dark Execution Ground .

The God of Death of Greece was one of the strongest creatures in the world . It had even killed Wen Tai, who was extremely close to becoming a Forbidden Mage . Even the strongest Mage would stand no chance against it!

Hayla was similar in size to the Black Totem Snake . Its shadow loomed over the Citadel of Athens . The creature could easily trample the city into ashes with a single stomp .

The people could see the enormous creature of darkness from every location on the sacred mountain . If the Dark Execution Ground was not cut off by the barrier, the flying insects and the overwhelming aura of death would surely have caused an unimaginable disaster to the Citadel of Athens .

The people of Athens hid behind the city's barrier, yet they could not feel any sense of security . Humans were just too minuscule compared to the majestic creature!

——-

"HAHAHA, Hayla is here! There's no way you can save her!" Great Magistrate Dulanc burst out laughing as soon as he saw Hayla's appearance .

Mo Fan's gaze was icy . He could sense how strong Hayla was . Its aura was even stronger than the Black Totem Snake!

The Mountain Zombie and the Black Totem Snake were the strongest creatures that Mo Fan had ever seen, but to his surprise, Hayla was even stronger than either Supreme Ruler .

The flames of fury inside Mo Fan's heart burned higher as the thought of Xinxia being trapped with the creature crossed his mind .

The flames surged wildly and spread across the city, surrounding the entire Dark Execution Ground .

Dulanc and the last Holy Court Mage were devoured by the flames . Mo Fan could not care less if they were dead or alive . He tried to use his flames to tear a gap in the barrier of the Dark Execution Ground!

The Dark Execution Ground was similar to the Dark Dueling Ground . It had a barrier that would stop anyone apart from Ye Xinxia from entering . The only existences that were allowed in the Dark Dueling Ground were the target and the executioner, Hayla!

If Hayla was hostile toward the Citadel of Athens, it could easily raze the city to the ground, let alone killing Xinxia, who basically had no way of defending herself .

Mo Fan almost lost his mind when he saw Hayla slowly approaching Xinxia . His flames had already spread to the other areas, including the sacred mountain of the Parthenon Temple!

The people under the sacred mountain could only see the demon flames and the Dark Execution Ground…

The flames clashed with the dark energy . Even the Super Mages did not dare go any closer .

The civilians and the Mages on the sacred mountain were dumbfounded by the spectacular sight .

Pang Lai flew into the sky and yelled at Mo Fan, "Mo Fan! You're too close to the Citadel of Athens . Control your flames, or else they are going to burn the innocent people to ashes . There are hundreds of thousand people behind the city's barrier!"

Mo Fan took a quick glance in the direction of the city and saw that his flames were inches away from the city's barrier . The Parthenon Temple had long evacuated the people into the barrier, but if he did not suppress the flames, they would devour thousands of people in an instant!

"We'll help you to tear a gap on the barrier, but Hayla is very powerful, don't force yourself!" Song Qiming said to Mo Fan .

Song Qiming and Pang Lai were worried that once Xinxia died after her soul was dragged into the Realm of Death . Mo Fan would totally lose control of himself and bring total destruction upon the Citadel of Athens!

They were the strongest Mages in China . Mo Fan's demon flames were struggling to break through the barrier of the Dark Execution Ground, but Song Qiming was once the Clergyman of the Holy Judgment Court . He was quite familiar with the Dark Execution Ground .

He asked Pang Lai to lend him a hand, and they forcibly tore a gap open on the barrier of the Dark Execution Ground with the power of the Chaos Element!

Mo Fan turned into a meteorite and flew right at Hayla as soon as the gap was big enough for him to enter, leaving a trail of flames behind him . "Don't you touch her!" he roared .

The flames were like a bright sun falling from the sky, slamming into the ground in front of Hayla .

Hayla was just about to reach out its claw and drag Xinxia into its territory . To its surprise, an intruder had barged in . The explosion forced Hayla to dodge sideways, but the flames had burned every flying insect they contacted to ashes!

Hayla was a real Supreme Ruler, a deity of darkness, no one had ever dared to provoke it like that .

It used its claws to put out the demon flames burning it . It took a heavy step forward and swung its claw at Mo Fan!

Hayla's claws were enormous . A dark magic claw immediately surrounded Mo Fan . It was big enough to hold an entire mountain .

A silver flicker burst out of Mo Fan's body, before he vanished into thin air with a shudder . The giant claw missed, but Hayla was able to sense the ripple of the Space Element . It Summoned a black pitchfork to its hand and hurled it at the spot Mo Fan was moving to!

Mo Fan had blinked continuously to move at least a kilometer away, but the dark pitchfork seemed to have locked onto him, able to track Mo Fan down still .

The dark pitchfork struck Mo Fan . He smashed through the walls of five buildings before he was nailed to the ground before a water fountain by the pitchfork .

The dark pitchfork was huge . Mo Fan was extremely tiny compared to it . He was struggling to break free from it .

Hayla easily leapt across the distance of one kilometer .

He landed beside the water fountain and grabbed the dark pitchfork that was nailing Mo Fan to the ground, before stabbing at the place Mo Fan was lying on repeatedly!

Each time the pitchfork landed on the ground, it would produce a tremendous shockwave, razing the structures nearby to the ground . Mo Fan gathered his demon flames in front of him to reduce the damage being inflicted on him .

Hayla's strength was utterly terrifying . The Super Mages had barely left a single scratch on Mo Fan with their spells, but Hayla had already inflicted serious damage to Mo Fan with its attacks!

As Hayla was indulging in the violent attack, a lightning bolt came down out of nowhere . A normal lightning bolt was like a little sparkle to Hayla, but this bolt of lightning actually consisted of a few hundred lightning strikes . The creature cried out in agony when the lightning landed on its head!

The lightning kept hitting Hayla . The creature seemed to be afraid of lightning . It immediately backed away . The arcs of lightning scattered across the place and lasted for a long time…
